Mavs 5, Fungoes 5

The Fungoes and Mavs split ten on a hot Sunday morning in Texas.  Here is how good Mike Trout is.  I felt like we handled him well and the Fungoes felt like he had a bad series.  His OPS was .949 and he hit a homer every twelve at bats.  And we did handle him well.

Lucroy had 21 hits in 41 at bats and drew seven walks as the highlight for the Mavs.  The lowlight for both teams were the closers.  Papelbon blew his second save of the year and Holland blew his third this week.

But the highlight of the series without a doubt was Dyson stealing his way around to score a key run in a twelve inning Fungo win in game seven.  Brought back fond memories of my days with Vince Coleman.  This of course became the Fungo strategy from then on.  Luckily for them they kept failing to get a lead to steal third because they were pounding the Mav pitchers by then and won games 8, 9 and 10 going away.
